Practical Challenge - Hangman

Introduction

Section titled Introduction

Now that we know python basics, and how to use the module Turtle, let’s put it all together and create a simple and interactive hangman game. In this game:

• The computer will randomly pick a word from a list
• A player will try to guess the secret word one letter at a time.
• A wrong guess makes the turtle draw a part of a stick figure.
• Too many wrong guesses, the turtle finishes the drawing and you lose.
• Guess the word before that happens, you win.

It may seem unnecessary to list out each step of the hangman game - everyone knows how to play hangman! But I promise, it definitely helps makes things ALOT simpler as we proceed.

Before we proceed, a quick knowledge check:
